An epic dark fantasy for those who are close to Joe Abercrombie and George R. R. Martin.
A gripping story about a world that hasn’t seen wars for five centuries—but even without battles, cold, fear, and ideology, step by step, are eroding the remnants of civilization.
A vivid plot with charismatic heroes and a conflict that flares not on the battlefield, but in intrigues, diplomatic games, and rituals.
Almost the entire world is bound in ice, and ancient forces wage a hidden war. Three strange fellow travelers set out on a risky journey across the Five Unions—the last strongholds of humankind.
Forty-three islands cut off by a wall of eternal frost hide ominous secrets. Ancient rites, bloody sacrifices, and an endless confrontation between light and darkness await those who dare to travel the road from the blessed World to the bleak lands of the Enemies of the Idea.
But the hardest part is still ahead: the mystery of the missing Scroll of Warmth, capable of tearing the world from its icy captivity.
Will they be able to change what’s been foretold—or will their journey end in inevitable death in the cold embrace of an ancient curse?
